As reported by Hollywood Reporter, the news comes from Lucasfilm who are also in the process of developing movies of a slew of characters across the Star Wars universe. The highly-anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi solo film is currently in negotiations with Stephen Daldry of Billy Elliot fame to direct.

The script for the Boba Fett film will be written with X-Men franchise veteran Simon Kinberg, sources suggest. Despite Fett’s lack of screen-time (less than 20 minutes across the whole franchise) the bounty hunter has become legendary among fans of the sci-fi series.

“It would be cool to see, like, Frasier in space— like, a high-end guy in space,” Glover said.

“All of these characters are very specific and they have very specific points of view, so it’s always going to be fun to see them traveling around to a planet that is the opposite of what they’re used to. And all of that seems like it would be fun to write, for sure.”
